When we travel, and use Motel 6, I flash that sample card the AARPers always send me, and they knock something like ten bucks off the bill. If I don't have one on me, I just say AARP discount and act like I'm trying to find my card. They always just give me the discount anyway.

I don't know what AARP membership actually costs and I have no intention of finding out.

I don't know how AARP stays in business. Every year since I was fifty, they've sent me a plastic membership card with my name on it and a letter saying: "This could be your real card and you could get the following AARP discounts..."

Every year, I put that card in my wallet and show it at any place with a AARP discount sign. Apparently no one knows what a real card looks like because I've never had a problem getting any discount offered. Like I said, "I don't know how..."

The only advantage I can think of is that your membership card will get you a teeny little discount at large chain stores and nationwide restaurants. Useless. I don't shop in person anymore, and I certainly don't eat at places like The Sizzler.
